I i. Figure-1, of the drawings, is a vertical sectionall view of my invention.

Figures 2, 3, and 4, are details.

vMy invention relatesfto means for holding, shoes while in process of pegging; and

The disk C is made hollow, and provided with openings, through which screws are passed to hold the apparatus to 'a bench.

By means of theabovedescribed devices the operaL tor can adjust the position of the last at any desired angle, and can revolve the same at will. A
